9 Park Ave Crossing<br />
Overview:<br />
Current Conditions:<br />
Opportunity:<br />
Park Avenue, between Navy St and Grand Ave, is a wide street that<br />
runs underneath the elevated <strong>Brooklyn</strong> Queens Expressway structure.<br />
It lines the south edge of Commodore Barry Park and the north edges<br />
of Ingersoll and Whitman Houses.<br />
St Edwards St is a small local street that intersects Park Ave. St Edwards St’s<br />
north portion is limited to emergency vehicles, service vehicles and school<br />
buses serving PS 067; it is a popular pedestrian route that connects both<br />
Ingersoll and Whitman to Commodore Barry Park. This connection, however,<br />
is not fully realized as the nearest crossings are Navy St and N Portland Ave. It<br />
is typical to see families and young children crossing Park Ave here completely<br />
unprotected.<br />
Improve the pedestrian experience by implementing pedestrian safety<br />
measures and address the clear need in this area for improved lighting and<br />
street furniture, as identified by the community.<br />
